I've not run with NASA, but have run with HOD, and started with A, which sounds like the equivalent of 1. I have been skipping the insurance, as, much like Glen, I drive for fun. If you listen to your instructor and follow the passing rules you will probably be fine. I'd hold off the upgrades until you move up to 2 or 3. I'm in group B now and starting to regret my choice of Pilot 4S. I should've gone with the Cup 2 but this car doubles as an occasional commuter car that sees rain.

I say go for 2 days if you have the time, and your car can take it. Don't forget to run through the inspection checklist. NASA's checklist is less stringent than say PCA's, as I don't see a minimum brake pad thickness requirement in NASA's, for example.
